August 15

How I Celebrated

Making the pie the night before was a good choice to have a cold pie for today. I don't know that I would like this pie hot. We didn't make much meringue, once again, it is pretty hard to make by hand. I approve much more of this canned filling than I have of any other canned filling. Probably because that artificial texture is more expected for lemon meringue and so that plus the flavor did not seem off to me. I would have preferred less sugar though.

History

I liked lemon meringue pie before, but I think if I make my own meringue, I will like it better. I already know that I liked the meringue I put on my baked Alaska much better.
